Give TO the ball - please

[gazjor1]

Im not sure how the rest of you will take this but we need to get TO in the game more - of course forcing it doesnt help but the guy is a talent that we should be exploiting , next week expect a big game from #81, he needs it , we need it.

HE MAKES THINGS HAPPEN. Lets help him turn his negative rage and fury into an unstoppable TD machine again.

That's EXACTLY what I've been saying-I have NO idea where most Zoners are coming up with this "We're force-feeding the ball to TO too much!" crap.(If anything, Romo locks in on Witten too much) I sure don't see it. And I sure don't see Garrett design many plays for him either.

TO gives up on way to many routes to justify his constant whining

 

[calico]

Im tired of TO and his whole act. trying to get him the ball first is hurting more than helping.

I'm not sure how anyone would want Tony to throw anything beyond a drop-off pass yesterday. Witten says the game-winning pick was on him??? That
pass lofted as did many passes from Tony. I still believe in Tony but the
coaches need to learn to pull in the reins on him. T.O. needs to shut up because his ranting only draws the wrong attention to him, makes him look much less than a team mate.

I want all the Q.Qers to come out and talk about how TO and how he always wants the ball...and WHY NOT when has TO disappointed....because of all the fury of the second half i totally overlooked this, ROMO clearly didn't even look TO's way in the 4th quarter, BIG MISTAKe...I question garrett though on this, was Witten the first read??? probably and yes defenses are starting to realize this, Romo has time to look around the field, why is he rushing???

FAILURE FAILURE FAILURE

We've been trying to force it to Owens and the other teams are waiting on it. Let it flow and when hes open hit him, but quit trying to force the damn ball to him.

If he has to have it so damn much trade him to Arizona for Boldin and let them force it to him, otherwise, teach him about team and that some times your the man and sometimes Witten is the man.

What happened to so long as we win, I am fine? Now its like So long as we win and I get 100+ yards I am fine? Screw that and the horse he rode in on. If he cant be a team player, get rid of him.

 

[BHendri5]

look stop using T.O. as a problem. I am glad that he gets upset, because he do be open, just as witten is open and others or open. The one thing I have said since romo took over the starting job, he is too focused on getting witten an T.O. the ball, the other guys are running wide open but yet Romo wants to force the ball to Witten or Owens, he either is not seeing the whole field, (which I do not believe) so it makes no since, he is the leader of this team, we know T.O. wants the ball a lot, which is great, and we know per Romo that Witten wants the ball a lot, also per Romo, but he needs to tell them look " I can help you guys and this team more if I spread the ball around, make defenses pay when they double and triple team you two guys.

dumb thread. To needs to get open, stop quiting on routes, and hold on to the ball consistently. He still has way too many balls "forced" to him as it is.

You mean things like stopping in the middle of his route allowing Troy to intercept? I would say Yep to that.

He played with almost zero effort in the first half. It wasn't still the CB starting talking garbage to him before he actually put forth some effort.

Two INTs in the first half, he carries a lot of blame for.

 

[Doomsday101]

If TO is open get him the ball, It is easy for fans to sit here and holler about TO getting the ball but then you are not playing QB you don't know what Romo is seeing. You say don't force him the ball yet holler he needs it more? Please if TO is open Romo will get him the damn ball so stop the non-sense.

 

[sbark]

OK......Holland out--Proctor In.....Pitt DLine tasting blood

Garrett---TO: have not run a crossing pattern all day that I remember

TO gotta man up and show yourself to Romo over the middle on a crossing route right in front of a guy getting little time to throw and pressure on him

Garrett------why did you quit with TO in motion into the slot, where were the crossing patterns in romo's vision line....

or did TO tell you he aint going over the middle......TO and RoyWr are both dang near TE size.....Romo can see them over the middle......

they are short, hot patterns, with the other wr clearing.....

Thats right. Two of Romo's int were because the Wr/TE did not run their routes and the other was just a bad pass. They happen. I get so scik of Romo bashing.

It is sad really!

Which takes us back to Wade Phillips and the question of: Why, Why WHY?!??!?!? does this team get multiple days off practice when it is CRYSTAL CLEAR not everyone knows the playbook and is on the same page (offense ans defense) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Absolutely inexcusable...if everyone knew the plays last night we win.

You don't think Witten and TO knew those plays? Witten stumbled out of his break and TO just quit on the route. What does that have to do with a day off?

It was more than those two plays, it happened through out the game on defense and offense and no on that last play (the 4and 10) Witten did not know the play or Romo didnt, it does not matter. To assume this team knows the basic play calls after watching this game is beyond naive at this point...

 

[TellerMorrow34]

I'm sure they'll get the ball to TO plenty this game and the rest of the way. They're not going to force him anything though and he's just going to have to learn to live with that.

Agree 100%!

Truer words have never been spoken! Forcing the ball to TO has been the biggest issue with the offense this season. I don't care how much TO pouts, if he is not open, Romo needs to go to his other options

 

[Oh_Canada]

How about getting the ball to Bennett, Crayton and hopefully Austin instead?
